THE EXPERIENCE

A place to practise.

Jiuxi's small residential programme joined introductory Chan with the practical work of tea: learning, picking and processing alongside temple life. The past notice makes lodging and communal meals explicit. It offers a distinct route for readers drawn to practice through ordinary activity. The evidence concerns one completed camp, so future dates, language and admission must be checked.
